Heavenly Mother Sings  < read by Melody

 

hymns hidden in the heart

melodies we hum

nursing babies

 

wind in the garden–

music made of grape vines

cherry blossoms.

 

ballad of comfort in sea-swell for

sailors thrown to knees

requiem on mountain top for

climbers grown cold–

 

She pulls our heartstrings

tunes them to Hers and to

Her son who sings with us–

Song of Redeeming Love.
